“Huge thanks to Loria! I was a first-time Rover user and she made the whole reservation comfortable and easy with daily updates! She was also very cognizant of my dog’s needs, nursing a healing injury. Thanks so much! I would (will) gladly book again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! This was Nikki’s first time boarding, and the staff went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and loved. They kept me updated daily with a picture, were incredibly caring, and I could tell she was well looked after They treated her like one of their own—kind, patient, and attentive. I could tell she was happy and well cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found a place I can truly trust with Nikki’s care in the future”
“Our pup loved his stay! Charlene and her family took great care of him, sending pics and updates along the way. They were also very accommodating to some slight time changes when our schedule changed. Would recommend them to everyone!”
About: I have had many pets in my life, dog's, cats, mice, rabbit, hampster, fish, chicken's, tortoise... I have carred for puppies, kittens, senior's (10yrs and up) and dogs with disabilities such as blindness and difficulties with walking in older age. I am willing to learn what your pets needs are and will do my best to meet all their needs whatever those may be, specific feeding schedule, medications... I am comfortable with dogs who wear diapers if needed I've done overnight pet sitting for a week or two at a time, and used to work at a horse stable in highschool. I work in the evenings Monday - Friday from 2:30pm to 11:00pm. I let the dogs out to pee as needed during the day. I work 5 minutes away so if necessary can go let the pets out to pee partway into that time. I'm usually home the whole morning and get back from work between 11pm and 12am. I go to the dog park at least 3-4 days a week if not almost every day for at least and hour. I can do walks as well or in place of the park. I have an empty spare room for your pet to have their own space for eating and relaxing but they are more than welcome to be out in the main house with my dog if they prefer the company. They can sleep with me and my dog in the bedroom or sleep in the spare room/ crated (I have 2 spare crates for both small and small/medium dogs). I have a dog and a cat. My dog loves a good pal to play with and my cat will mostly keep to herself and usually goes unnoticed. Both my pets have open access to food and water at all times. But if your pet needs a strict feeding schedule there food can be placed out of reach. To ensure no food related scuffñes your baby will be fed separately in the spare room for maximum comfort and safety. I make frequent trips to the dog park at least 3-4 days a week if not almost every day. I can do walks as well or in place of the dog park. I have a fully fenced backyard to play and potty in, I let the dogs out multiple times during the day and about twice before bed. I usually give the dogs some sort of longish lasting chew before I go to work to provide some stimulation during the beginning hours of my shift such as a pig ear or hide.
“While I would like to gate-keep this wonderful family and not share them, I must! They have kept my Mabel for about 6 weeks over the course of the 6 months I’ve had her. She LOVES them. She loves their dog. They may honestly be the sweetest family on earth. They give immediate updates with pictures, but they also understand if you can’t check in with them constantly. The first time they kept her, I accidentally left them with an issue with her. I was already headed to the airport so I was stuck. They handled it like she was their dog. I know they treat her so well . I just can’t say enough about this sweet family. I also had a 15 hr flight delay. When I let them know, they acted like it wasn’t 2 days before Christmas and I could come whenever I got home. (Even suggested that I rest first). Your pets will be in safe,loving hands with this family. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. ( ( I drive about 40 minutes each way to get her to them and I would drive 3 hours each way without hesitation!”
“Tristen did a great job keeping Ms. Allie. She is known for hiding. She found a hiding place underneath Kristen's bed but she her space and she could see the food and water. After she received a treat and everything was good. Kristen sent clips show she was petting her. I will use Kristen again for Mrs Allie. I got a chance to relax on my trip and not worry about Ms. Allie.”
“She was great. This was Mickie's first stay with someone outside my family. I was a little nervous, but I soon relaxed. Mickie seemed to enjoy his stay and she kept me up to date with how he was doing. I'd definitely book her again.”
“We were so happy we found Jackie for our guy. This was our first time leaving Bean behind and we were anxious. Jackie took the time to pre-meet us and allowed us to see the interaction between the two. He then showed us his home backyard and family. He asked for notes, especially since being is on meds and any special needs Bean might have every day he sent us messages and pictures of Bean . Jackie is Bean’s friend. He became familiar with his ways, Bathroom behaviors and his insecurities, especially during the crazy weather if you need somebody loving and caring of your best friend, please reach out to Jackie. We are glad we did. Thanks, Traci”
“Laura was so good to Punkin. She has kept Punkin for day sitting and now for an over night, both making us very comfortable knowing she is caring for our fur baby! Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had animals all of my life. From hamsters, cats, dogs (daschund to Great Danes), to our chickens! I’m a stay at home momma so I’m available to take care of your fur babies and welcome them in to my home with care at all times! I’m home a majority of all days! After waking up, I take my kiddos to school and I go to the gym where I teach senior classes for 45-75 minutes a day Monday through Friday. After I will come back home. I like to spend my time outside in the yard. My yard is not fenced in, we have 40 acres and a pond as well that my heeler swims in but daschund wouldn’t step foot in. I do have two crates I have in my home, as well as a outdoor kennel. We are located on a dead end road and only two other houses are located out here so not much traffic!
About: All of my life I have worked with pets and livestock, big and small. From my first dog Samson the Dachshund to Lilly the Horse and now my four fur babies I have with my husband. We have had great days playing, cuddling, bathing and so much more. And some stressful nights through thunderstorms and sickness. I love all of my many pets and I can't wait to meet yours! I am almost always available and happy to set up a routine! I am also willing to work most Holidays. I keep my schedule updated weekly. Before I take care of any pet I do have a list of questions to ask. So that I know the level of care and what you would like for me to do in case of emergencies. Everyone has a different routine and I would like to maintain that for your pet while I am are looking after them.
“Rhonda was absolutely amazing watching my pup! Partway through the stay, my little girl had an allergic reaction to a bug bite, and Rhonda handled it perfectly — she noticed it right away, stayed on top of it, and kept me constantly in the loop with updates, pictures, and videos so I could see exactly how she was doing throughout the whole thing. Her communication was outstanding; I never once felt anxious or out of the loop, which means a lot when you're away from your pet. She took such attentive, loving care of my pup and got the swelling down quickly and safely. Beyond just handling that situation well, it's clear Rhonda genuinely cares about the animals she watches — you can tell in how attentive and proactive she is. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable pet sitter, and I already have plans to book her again for my pup very soon.”
About: I just graduated college and moved to Little Rock for work! I miss my pets and taking care of my neighbors pets too. My family fostered dogs growing up, and I’ve been pet sitting since I can remember! While in Little Rock, I’ve already pet sat for my friend’s dog and 2 cats overnight at their home, and loved getting to prioritize and play with them for a week! I work full time 9-5 in an office Monday-Friday. I get a lunch hour where I can check on them and take them for a walk! Your pets would be fed at 7:30am, checked on at 12:30pm, fed again anytime after 5:15pm (out to you) and walked and played with for the rest of the evening! I don’t have any pets in my apartment, but I do have a gated dog park outside my apartment if your buddy needs to come play! I also live right by the river trail for walks:) I will protect your pet with my life!!
“Christine was amazing with my babies. She took them to play at the dog park everyday and I could tell they were in great hands. I know Hopper and Nana can’t wait to go back. Thank you Christine.”
“Alicia was super patient with our dogs when they decided to not be on their best behavior. She kept me updated on how they were doing during their long stay with her. They were well cared for!”
“This Taylor’s 3rd time keeping my baby & as usual she provided excellent care ! When Taylor dog sits my puppy me I’m able to travel with a peace of mind because i know my baby is in good hands !”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Whisperwood
I had a last minute travel need come up and couldn't take my dog. Rachael was quick to respond with her open availability, answered questions/concerns, and helped lock in our stay! She and her husband Scotty took great care of Mowgli. When we arrived, I got a quick tour of their at home boarding spaces and was reassured that he will be well loved while there and that I could reach out for updates anytime (which put my mind at ease.) During his stay, I received updates with photos on how he was doing. Very impressed and we will be back again! Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Whisperwood home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Whisperwood.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Whisperwood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
